What makes this day trip unique?

We work with a daytrip provider that is a highly professional outfit and a trusted name in scuba diving in Sabah. They are an award-winning PADI 5 star IDC Centre and have a large international staff, all of whom are trained in primary and secondary first aid. They operate daily diving and snorkelling trips all around the 5 islands that comprise the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.

The park comprises 5 amazing islands, including Gaya and Sapi islands. This famous area has been a marine park for more than 40 years, and its marine life is carefully monitored and protected by Sabah Parks. As a result this area is home to thousands of schooling fish, pristine coral reefs, unusual critters such as seahorses, frogfish and octopus as well as turtles, blacktip reef sharks and rays. This park is ideal for all types of divers, from beginners to the most experienced of divemasters.

All boats (taking up to 12 guests and with twin 115 HP engines) are fully licensed and insured with Sabah parks, and have life jackets, life rings, emergency O2 and GPS system.
